What Medical School Doesn't Teach About Nutrition | Dr. Ken Berry & Dr. Jami Dulaney

Welcome!

And thanks for listening.

In this episode, I have the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Ken Berry, a board-certified family medicine physician, bestselling author of Lies My Doctor Told Me, and creator of the Proper Human Diet.

As two physicians who have independently questioned many of the conventional recommendations surrounding nutrition and metabolic health, we have a fascinating conversation about what led us to rethink what we were taught in medical school and what the research actually tells us about the foods we eat. Dr. Berry shares his personal journey from struggling with obesity and prediabetes to discovering low-carb nutrition and the carnivore diet. We discuss the limitations of traditional diabetes dietary recommendations, the influence of food industry sponsorship on nutrition guidelines, and why so many doctors receive surprisingly little education about nutrition.

We also dig into some of the biggest controversies in nutrition, including plant-based versus animal-based diets, whether grains and carbohydrates are really necessary for optimal health, and what happens when we look beyond the headlines of published nutrition studies. We take a closer look at research involving plant-based diets and type 2 diabetes, the importance of sustainable dietary changes, and why calorie restriction and short-term improvements don't necessarily tell the whole story.

Thanks as always for listening.
